Abstract: The farmhouse forests of Western Sichuan were not only unique to the Chengdu Plain but also to the whole country by combining the production,living and landscape into a complex living model.It was also of important significance in inheriting the farming culture of Western Sichuan and maintaining the ecological environment of the Chengdu Plain.In this study,remote sensing image interpretation methods were used to study the landscape characteristics of farmhouse forests in six types,including farming type,new settlement type,ecological type,farm tourism type,and special industrial type.The developing law of farmhouse forests was analyzed through the research on the relationship between forests and landscape elements,such as residential houses,courtyards,forests,and gardens (vegetable gardens,orchards,etc).The results showed that ① the new type of settlement forests showed the highest density,reaching 4.43 per km²;Ecological forests covered the largest area,and the average area of individual forest was 26,830 m².② The uniformity index was the largest in ecological type (36.733%),and the new settlement type was the smallest.The degree of fragmentation was the smallest in ecological type (0.373),and the largest in the special industry type(2.287).③ There was a positive correlation between the total area of the farmhouse forests and the area of landscape elements such as residential houses,county yards,forest lands,and gardens.
